Reminder: the MOU Aitkin County trip meets this Saturday (6/19), 7:30 AM,
at Rice Lake Refuge on Highway 65 just south of McGregor. We will park in
the lot, carpool north to CR 18, then return to the refuge late morning to
bird there.
Highway 18 has been spectacular (Great Gray, Northern Hawk and Short-eared
Owls, many breeding warblers, Boreal Chickadees, Yellow-bellied Flycatchers
et al), hence the change in first location plans. The previous sentence,
however, does not constitute a guarantee!:)
The trip is currently full. If you were on the waiting list, feel free to
attend.
This morning heard an unusual song from a Common Yellowthroat. It consisted
of seven strong, rolling notes (somewhat similar to a House Wren, but louder
and fuller), bracketed by two partial calls, no full "witcheties" to speak
of.
Good birding to all!
